More and more locusts surrounded them, but they were wary of the fire and hesitated to approach.
rAlthough locusts have no intelligence and only know how to eat and reproduce, their instincts could tell that the meat by the fire was much tastier than the remaining soil on the back of the mountain.
rWen Nannan sighed deeply and added a few more pieces of firewood to the fire.
rLocusts are afraid of fire. The fuel that they couldn't use before the locust plague erupted was now proving to be extremely useful.
rAfter several rounds of locust reproduction, although this firewood was far from enough to completely wipe out the locusts, it was enough to keep them alive until the game ended at noon tomorrow.
rIt was eerily quiet.
rXu Fang and Zhang Yuan dared not speak.
rAfter Wen Nannan confirmed that the locusts didn't dare to approach them, she reminded them to add fuel, then lay down and fell asleep.
rShe was exhausted.
rA whole day of running had left Wen Nannan's muscles aching, so despite the fact that the crisis wasn't over, she still slept soundly.
rWhen she woke up again, night had fallen.
rZhang Yuan's eyes were surrounded by dark circles, which were clearly visible under the flickering flames. But he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
rAfter failing to conquer Wen Nannan and the others, the locusts cleverly jumped over them and started eating from the bottom of the mountain.
rBut now, the locusts were encircling Wen Nannan and the others in a pincer movement.
rFrom above, the dense locusts looked like a massive dark cloud, surrounding the only flickering fire in the middle.
rXu Fang's sunken cheeks made her eyes bulge out even more. She was exhausted, crawling on the ground. Her eyelids were drooping, but she didn't dare to close them.
